I am one of those people who prefers that the game only has one difficulty. My friend and I both played Phantom Liberty, and unfortunately he didn't enjoy it as much as I did because at higher difficulty he struggled too much with combat in a way he didn't find fun. I could argue my point for a while but I doubt I'd achieve anything.

Why would you care if the game had more choices in terms of difficulty? It's a single player game, you could still choose the difficulty level the game it at right now, and others could play at an easier or harder difficulty if they so chose.

For (dominantly) single player games, let players enjoy the game however they want.

As I said I don't think I'd achieve anything by arguing my point. Imo single difficulty is or should be part of the genre. It's totally ok for others to also just not play it at all.
